Bogor Regent Requests Inspectorate to Report Alleged ASN Position Trading
Bogor Regency (ANTARA) - The Bogor Regency Inspectorate in West Java has been asked by Bogor Regent Rudy Susmanto to prepare a police report regarding allegations of ASN position trading, which is currently still under examination.
The Head of the Bogor Regency Inspectorate, Arif Rahman, in Cibinong on Sunday, stated that the directive was given to ensure the case handling does not stop at the administrative level but can proceed to legal processes.
“Yes, the Regent instructed us to file a police report. But the examination is not yet complete; we are still summoning the parties involved,” said Arif.
He explained that to date, the Inspectorate has only examined four people suspected of being involved in the case. Further examinations of other parties are ongoing to complete the data and information.
“Only four people have been questioned so far. We plan to summon several more parties, but I haven’t received the latest report; perhaps on Monday,” he said.
Arif noted that the investigative audit process requires time because it must be conducted carefully and not rushed to ensure accurate and accountable results.
“The Regent wants it done quickly, but since this is an investigation, we cannot be careless,” he said.
Regarding the potential articles to be applied in the police report, Arif said it has not yet been determined. However, he indicated that the case has the potential to fall under general criminal categories.
“We don’t know the articles yet; perhaps general criminal, but it’s still in process,” he said.
Meanwhile, based on the Inspectorate’s investigation, the alleged position trading practice originated from a civil servant who offered structural positions to several employees while still serving as a functional official.
In the practice, several parties are said to have given money in stages since January 2022 as compensation for obtaining positions at the sub-district level.
The Inspectorate began initial coordination with the BKPSDM on 11 March 2026, followed by an investigative audit, data collection, and requests for statements from related parties.
By early April 2026, the Inspectorate had clarified and requested written statements from 12 people from various agencies to test the validity of the obtained information.
The results of the investigative audit will then be comprehensively reported to the leadership as the basis for determining further steps, including plans to report to law enforcement authorities.
